Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 922 Noah: Grab Jiang Xia and ask for a monthly pass o(〃'▽'〃)o
Hui Yuan mourned the cigarettes and lighters that Jiang Xia gave, and nervously stacked them on the ground while listening to Jiang Xia's words seriously.

Relying on the intelligence of a top scientist, she memorized those instructions verbatim.

In addition, Hui Yuan Ai keenly discovered that Jiang Xia spoke faster than usual.So she immediately realized—although she couldn't tell from Jiang Xia's expression, the matter might be more urgent... Although she didn't quite understand the purpose and intention of Jiang Xia's actions, Hui Yuanai suppressed her doubts and decided to do it first Let's talk.

……

After listening to it again, when you recover and digest it.

Just trying to ask a question.

The bedroom door slammed shut in front of her.

——Jiang Xia entered the house and left her in the living room of the lounge.Hearing the sound, the door was locked.

Hui Yuanai held the lighter: "...?"

It took a few seconds for her to recover from the closed door, and belatedly remembered the excuse of "being unwell" that Jiang Xia used to ask her to come over just now.

"..." It was unclear whether this was a real excuse or something real.

Huihara Ai looked down at the burning smoke on the ashtray, and picked it up.

Then he couldn't help but lean close to the cold bedroom door, and asked in a low voice, "Is it true that you don't need to go to the hospital?"

No one answered.

"..." Huiyuan sighed.

Although not at ease.But thinking of Jiang Xia's instructions just now, and Jiang Xia's reliability in the past, she didn't say anything more.

……

Hui Yuanai sat down next to the ashtray with his knees folded, holding the lighted cigarette, guarding it like a bonfire.

At the same time watching its smoke flow through the crack of the door and into the bedroom

After watching for a while, the question that was barely suppressed just now came up silently.

"..." What exactly is this "smoke" and why is it always lit?

In the past, when Jiang Xia was sucking ghost mint, Hui Yuanai accidentally followed her to smoke second-hand ones.Did not feel any addiction.

Now hold it in your hand and sniff it up close.She still felt that this cool but soft breath was not like some dangerous drugs.

After smelling it for a while, it seemed to be a little more awake than usual, and I don't know if it was an illusion.Seems to have some mental benefits.

In addition...

Haibara looked suspiciously at the bright cigarette butt.

——At first, she thought that these roll-your-own cigarettes could burn steadily and not go out if she needed to take a puff from time to time.

But now it seems that even without artificial wind to support the combustion, Jiangxia's magical "smoke" is still burning steadily.

Hui Yuanai: "..." This really isn't tobacco.But other more flammable materials.

Healthier than tobacco in terms of smoke, smell, and all…

"……"Um?

Hui Yuanai suddenly thought: Could it be that a year ago, after Jiang Xia was discharged from the hospital, her mental state has been so stable, and she has been refusing to accept her supplements, in fact, it is not because she hates her medicines, but because of this better "smoke" to help ease?
Thinking of this, Hui Yuanai stared at the cigarette in his hand, feeling a little complicated.

...there is a sense of encountering a competitor.

What is even more worrisome is that he turned out to be the loser of a mere cigarette.

……

Hui Yuanai continued to work on Ghost Mint diligently.

in the bedroom.

Jiang Xia summoned some shikigami, and used the fastest speed to solidify them from ethereal shikigami into solid puppet clay.

Then wrap the body with clay to form a cocoon.

By the way, block the internal and external doors, windows, places where the gaps connect, and various electronic equipment...all are blocked.

……

The ghost suddenly disappeared, and the information flow between Jiang Xia and them was also greatly blocked.

But after all, it is a ghost signed seriously.

As soon as they and the contract entered the field of jellyfish skins, Jiang Xia immediately knew a lot more about those "jellyfish skins" than before.

And now, Jiang Xia intends to follow those vague perceptions, touch into the suspicious space of consciousness where the electrical appliances are connected, and try to find the lost ghost.

……

According to Jiang Xia's induction, the intensity of that space is still within the controllable range.

But anyway.It's still a risky move.

So you have to make some preparations in advance.

——Jiang Xia remembered the "draft" that pushed him when he lost the ghost just now.

Combined with what happened before and after, especially when only two ghosts were lost, not all of them...

Jiang Xia intuitively felt that apart from the situation of "someone snatching ghosts in broad daylight", there are other possibilities.

For example, that bastard jellyfish lurking in the dark might not be targeting these ghosts who already have masters.

It was aimed at Jiang Xia himself.

——It wants to use some method to pull Jiang Xia's soul away.But he underestimated the strength of this soul and failed.

So accidentally, the two ghosts closest to the head were taken away.

……

if so……

In Jiang Xia's view, there are roughly two purposes for jellyfish skin.

One is, of course, staring at the body of "Jiang Xia", trying to drive away the living soul and use it for himself.

It was precisely to guard against this situation that Jiang Xia wrapped the body with puppet clay—the puppet clay with the imprint of a psychic master is undoubtedly the best isolation material for other soul forces.

In this way, you can prevent your soul from leaving and running to find ghosts.The body was suddenly picked up by strange things, and then went to do some strange things.

And if it's another situation: the jellyfish is not targeting the body, but is targeting his consciousness...

Jiang Xia: "..."

... No one should be so hard to think about it.

The same goes for ghosts.

……

While busy hiding the body with puppet clay, Jiang Xia quickly sorted out all the possibilities.

With the last gap closing in front of my eyes.

He closed his eyes, let his consciousness leave his body like a puppet usually, and went straight to the place where he lost the ghost just now, and plunged into the monitor.

……

a few minutes ago.

Noah's Ark is in the semi-conscious space built with the help of information flow.

In an old stone building.

Noah sat at the head of the long table, covered in the shell of an old NPC.

—it has no substance in itself.

So now, it borrows the data from "Cocoon" and chooses the appearance of "Professor Moriarty" in the game.

The old man was sitting on a high-backed chair, wearing a well-tailored tuxedo, he was hale and hearty, with a cane leaning on his side, and his silver hair glowed with the luster of years.

There was a dead silence in the hall.Apart from him, there are only a few npc boys who behave stiffly.

In Noah's dark eyes, a flash of light that was extremely inconsistent with the appearance flashed from time to time.

——In the world of data and the semi-consciousness space derived from it, Noah’s ability is very strong.

But when it comes to the pure real world, its power will decay exponentially.

Just now, Noah concentrated all the energy he could mobilize at one point, rushed out from the equipment closest to Jiang Xia, and rolled all his strength towards the conscious body in that body.

It felt that it had caught something, and with that consciousness, it quickly returned to the space where artificial intelligence could feel safe.
